i was diagnosed with DH in August, was put on a gluten-free diet and dapsone..My DH has cleared up pretty good since then. I stopped the dapsone a couple weeks ago..I do not like the effects i get from it. I still did pretty good keeping the rash under control with my diet. Thursday night I got a salad from Arbys..grilled chicken, Friday morning early,3 am, I woke up itching like crazy..from the bottom of my feet, to the top of my head, i had huge HIVES all over me. I know i could take benedryl for the itching, BUT i can't take it during the day, it makes me to sleepy and loopy.

Has anyone else gotten hives due to being glutened? The salad is the only thing i can think of that i ate different, i haven't changed any products, like detergents or shampoos, and i'm thinking if it was something i came in contact with, the hives would have been gone by now, i think its internal like a food allergy.

PLUS, is benedryl ok to take? I never thought of it having gluten in it, i read it, didn't see anything i recognized. Thanks for any help, Lori

I get my salads without the meat ;)

My grammie used to make a paste of water and baking soda for my hives/itchy skin/chicken pox it does seem to cool off the itch, the down side is you are covered in a white paste and people tend to look at you funny :huh:

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      By Beck1430 · Posted

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky

      Welcome to the forum, @Lburnett! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? I'm just trying to get a handle on the health context from which your question comes.
